Ego Death, 2017
Mixed-media on paper
89 x 58 cm

Awakening can be described as a breaking down of the ego when you realise that your ‘self’ is nothing more than an illusion, that who you are is not identified by your name, your profession, your gender or sexual orientation. These are only abstract ideas. The death of your ego is when you come to this deep understanding. This breaking down of the ego can come as a daunting revelation. You can try to retract from it all, but it can come to haunt you as well. There may be an apparent loss of desire and the will go pursue goals that you had previously.
